History
Our History
Timber Tradition: van Hoorebeke Timber was founded in 1740 as a brewery. The first proven activity of trading construction materials goes back to 1770. In 1842, they already innovated by importing their first vessel of timber from Riga. The start of importing timber from all over the world with a worldwide customer portfolio. Later on, van Hoorebeke Timber will become one of the market leaders in Siberian Larch. The first contact with 3RT in 2019 was the start of a promising collaboration, allowing us to become a pioneer in sustainable timber technology.
Innovation

Together with their solid partnership with Henkel Adhesives, Bosch Technologies and the technical Flinders University, they own a patented wood-based solution supporting durability, transforming abundantly available juvenile plantation resources originally used for low-value woodchips and repurposing them to create high-value timber.
